Chelsea swoops in for a 33-year-old United target, United dealing a double blow!
Chelsea swoops in for a 33-year-old United target, Frenkie de Jong could move to Stamford Bridge this season, as Chelsea is offering a defender as they continue to spend a lot of money this summer. De Jong has been linked with a move from Barcelona to Old Trafford for weeks, but it’s thought that he doesn’t want to join the Red Devils. However, Chelsea has joined the race to sign the Dutch midfielder, and reports say that they are willing to match United’s offer as they continue to spend big.
Timo Werner, a striker who was out of favor at Chelsea, will make a surprising return to RB Leipzig after a boring time there. At first, it was said that Werner could go back to Germany on loan, but it now seems like this deal would be permanent. Manchester United reportedly had a bid for Marko Arnautovic, who is 33 years old, turned down. So instead, the club wants to bring in Erik ten Hag’s first new striker.
The forward who used to play for West Ham and Stoke has scored 43 goals in the Premier League. He could go back to England if United keeps trying to sign him.
Here’s the latest big news about a transfer!
Rivals might be losing de Jong to Chelsea!
De Jong, who is wanted by Manchester United, is close to joining Chelsea, which spends a lot of money. However, the London club is reportedly close to making a deal with Barcelona. Reports say that Chelsea has made an offer of €70 million (AUD 102) and the Spanish defender Marcos Alonso.
Barcelona is under pressure to cut their wage bill because La Liga turned down their request to sign new players, including Robert Lewandowski, who was a big signing. But Barcelona’s president, Joan Laporta, has made it clear that he wants the Dutch midfielder to stay with the Spanish giants.
Goal says that United is interested in Napoli midfielder Fabian Ruiz as a possible replacement for de Jong.
Utd’s bid for a 33-year-old forward gets rejected.
Bologna is said to have turned down Manchester United’s offer for Marko Arnautovic. United made an offer of €9 million (AUD 13 million) for the striker, who used to play for West Ham and has also been linked with a move to Italian powerhouse Juventus. It’s bad news for the Red Devils, who just lost to Brighton in a historical way in their first Premier League game at Old Trafford. Arnautovic would be the first striker that Erik ten Hag signed for Manchester United while he was manager.
Gary Neville, who used to be the captain of United, said that the team’s moves so far in the transfer window have been “unacceptable.”
“It needed improving more than it has been. There is still time in the window but he needed three or four weeks more to work with them,” Neville told Sky Sports.
“Every coach comes in thinking they can do better than the last coach with the players at his disposal as they believe they are a better coach, and that is probably the case with this. But the reality is, he’s seen what those players are capable of today. I don’t think any Manchester United fan or pundit that has watched this team over the last 12 months, with the same players playing in the same positions, expected anything different than what we saw. So the reality is those players need replacing or supported more by better players.”
Werner again joins hands with RB Leipzig!
Werner is going to sign a permanent deal with RB Leipzig after two disappointing years with Chelsea. Before he signed with the Blues, the German international was one of the hottest players on the transfer market. Liverpool was also interested in him because he was scoring so many goals. The 26-year-old played 156 games for RB Leipzig and scored 90 goals and had 40 assists. He will leave in 2020. Fabrizio Romano, who is an expert on football, said that the two clubs are talking about the conclusive details.
